12.5 going on 15 months NO STTN!

HELLLLLLPPPPP!! We feel like we have a newborn DD. Why is this happening? Nothing has changed except that she cut teeth yesterday. Nothing else. She used to sttn from 6m on then at 12.6 months it all ended.
Sometimes she is hungry, sometimes she just wants a rub.
DH (dear husband) gave her melatonin a couple times.. doesnt really work.. neither did tylenol (prior to teething too).
I was hoping there were some reasons and remedies that could kindly help us before we visit the doctor.

This isn't the popular opinion, but babies STTN when they're developmentally ready. Just stay the course and be patient. Ask for help if you need to. Maybe try tweaking the schedule. There is a sleep board on here and they have sample schedules that are super helpful.

its normal,,, they will sttn and not sttn,,, it is all part of them growing up... by the way, stop drugging her,,, there is no such thing as safe over the counter drugs that you are giving her...

Are you implying Tylenol isn't safe? It's not like she is feeding her baby sedatives or cough syrup. She is trying to offer pain relief in case her child is in pain, because babies can't exactly say hey Mom my new teeth hurt.

better to use cool items,,, refrigerated not frozen,,, drugs, even "safe" ones like Tylenol, shouldn't be used liberally,,, it doesn't really help with the teething as we have never given anything to jasmine and she has 6 teeth now with 2 more on the way... its better for her to have soft chew items than to try to numb it with drugs... the only time we would consider using Tylenol, which we have on hand, is to counteract a fever... that is the only real purpose to use it...

What do you do when she wakes up? I fully believe some sleep issues can be learned behavior. My DD (dear daughter) learned very quickly that if she put up even the smallest fight she got to sleep with me, once I stopped letting her sleep with me she stopped waking up. It took a few very sleepless nights to let her know I wasnt going to give in anymore but it was worth the fight.

Whether you like or dislike a child's behavior, don't get used to it, as it will change

I agree with a pp on the phases part.. especially when teeth are coming through it’s incredibly uncomfortable for them especially when trying to sleep at night.. my lo can be sleeping great then all of the sudden not want to sleep through the night.. it happens.. I also agree with behaviors part too I went through a period of time where my LO (little one) would cry and I’d have to be up for work early so she’d come sleep with me and she caught onto that very quick lol

I need to do this. My dd (dear daughter) is 18 months and she hasn’t sttn since 9 months. I’m dying from lack of sleep lol. I cave and let her come to bed with me. If I don’t, she will wake up every hour until I do. And if she wakes up too many times then she’s just up for good until nap time. My first dd (dear daughter) was an amazing sleeper and this one has thrown me for a loop. I’ve been needing to do this but I’m procrastinating because it means even less sleep than I’m already getting for a while until it’s fixed.

Mine didnt STTN until 20 months. He went from our bed to a mattress on the floor, and once he was only waking once in the night we moved him out of our room. I definitely think we woke each other up more than was necessary. He slept from 8:30 to 6:30 after a week or so of adjusting. I try to teach him if its dark out he needs to be in his bed. I do have to feed him within an hour of going to bed, since he's used to nursing at night. Otherwise he wakes up starving at 3 am.
